Conversation with an Enterprise Architect: Solving IT & Storage Challenges

Want to learn from your peers and have real valuable feedback on IT Management and Goals? Join this peer-to-peer webcast!

This webcast has been created as a space to hold conversations with IT Infrastructure professionals who share similar concerns and challenges, as well as success stories and a real-world case study from Jorge Barreto, Enterprise Architect at BFL Canada, on how he addressed the following:

Challenges:

1. Meet IOPS requirements
2. Spend time in labor-intensive operations such as VM Recovery
3. Lack of team expertise for complex operations required his personal time in completing tasks

During the last few months, ransomware has been a real, dangerous and costly threat to governmental institutions. The example of the city of Atlanta is one of the most dramatic examples not only on both staff and internal working environment but also on the day-to-day life of all citizens. So what can be done to ensure business continuity? What are the keys to avoiding downtime and critical data loss? Whom do they concern?

Malware-as-a-service has become a real industry and let’s face it, zero risk doesn’t exist. It's no longer a matter of if your organization will be attacked, but when and its origin. The point is to not only get your IT department ready in case of a malware disaster but also to incorporate the entire company into keeping the door shut against any elements threatening the integrity of your data ecosystem.

Cybersecurity expert, John Bambenek and Reduxio Director of Customer Support, Eli Lopez will cover real-life solutions and industry tips and tricks to optimize your entire IT ecosystem against the rise of malware-as-a-service.

Who Should Register?
- System Admins & System Engineers who struggle to identify all incoming ransomware threats and keep their IT ecosystem clean and sterile
- Server Admins & Storage Admins who want to improve their disaster recovery management and disaster prevention management
- Infrastructure & Enterprise Architects who want to learn more about technical solutions for ransomware recovery processes and/or techniques

By attending, you'll learn:
- The latest ransomware trends and the reason behind attacking precise data points
- Why malware-as-a-service is a matter for all IT stakeholders and users
- An intertwined set of technologies to prepare an IT ecosystem for disaster recovery

Get into the Life of an I/O inside the Reduxio TimeOS™. Discover an innovative technology that is changing the way enterprises store, manage and protect data storage. Get behind the scenes to find out how this technology is able to converge previously isolated primary and secondary storage into a single data management platform. Consolidating global in-memory data reduction, active tiering, instant DR, CDM & advanced mobility.

In the space of storing, managing and protecting data, different approaches for handling information are used. The advent of cloud has brought in compelling benefits, but the amount of data that organizations continue to store is growing exponentially, resulting in mostly unrelated solutions that have lead to the rise of Hybrid IT. On the Data Protection side, Businesses increasingly demand 100% uptime with no data loss, or what IDC refers to as the "new race to zero" – 0 RPO and 0 RTO. Such scenarios are still unrealistic for all but the most expensive and demanding applications that can afford fully redundant systems.

IT organizations are improving the performance of their storage stacks and gradually driving down their RPO and RTO. Unfortunately, in most cases, this requires a complex strategy of interrelated components, which are often vendor and platform-specific, leaving IT to manually manage multiple systems and increasing the overall complexity of their environments.

Join this session to learn about:

- The latest advances in converging your storage and backup stack and how this can radically change the way you manage data
- The current challenges of copy data management and how to address them
- A dive into a TCO study depicting the savings achieved through this architectural change
- Why snapshots are obsolete and you to achieve near-instant data recovery
- A look into additional use cases of copy data for DevOps team

The technology advances presented in this session were recently recognized by Frost & Sullivan with the award for Technology Innovation for Data Storage and Management.

Join us for a 360 view from our Industry Expert, Jacob Cherian, VP of Product Strategy at Reduxio and previously Dell Inventor of the Year, as well as a Fireside chat with a Keith Worthington, IT Manager at LineMaster of the technology being presented.

Watch this webinar to learn everything there is to know about Benchmarking Applications workloads, allowing great performing solutions to save time and money.

Learn how:
- IT departments make decisions on investing in Enterprise Storage
- Differences in how storage products perform according to the applications run
- Rich information and comparative analysis of different storage products

Investing in Enterprise Storage is an important decision of any IT department. There are meaningful differences in how storage products perform according to the applications you are running. Unfortunately, using the publicly available information to compare one storage product to the next can be frustrating and this lack of comparable performance testing data can result in unpleasant performance problems that you’ll have to deal with in the future.

Watch this instructive video and learn how this technology achieves near-zero RTO/RPO

Reduxio's BackDating™ allows you to recover from a ransomware attack with a second level granularity. Meaning you can restore data from right before the second the attack happened. So you lose minimal data and more importantly it is remarkably fast to recover irrespective of the time. Be it to a point 30 seconds earlier or 30 hours earlier, the recovery time is the same.

With Reduxio, you don't have to worry about Ransomware, you can sit back & relax.

This content was created by Idit Michael who has over 10 years of experience in infrastructure implementation, managing operational teams, leading and accompanying technological projects in large organizations.

- BackDating™ allows you to revert or clone to any second in the past within seconds.
- See in real-time, how BackDating instantly recovers your data with a second level granularity.
- Near-zero RTO/RPO supports data recovery and application testing use cases.

BackDating™ acts as a time machine for your data. Clone any volume to any point in time in the history of the system, for data recovery or application testing purposes.

The number of Ransomware attacks on businesses tripled since last year. It’s the trending topic on cyber-security right now, and over 4000 attacks happen every day, the total ransom amounts close to $1Bn and it’s getting worse. Attacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated, and VM’s are no longer safe. So, should you be worried? We think not.
